This is a computer case fan. More specifically, it was intended for a certain CPU heat sink. Sorry but I haven't got a clue as to why you bought this for your message room.

This fan is 12 v dc, You have to use a 12v dc power supply 2-3 amp. They sell for about $8-$10. Solder leads to fan and plug in wall.

mine is dc. I had battery drain problem. Wired it from a toggle switch to disconnect neg. batt cable. only energised with engine running problem solved. I don't know why it would't work for a fan

You can get a power supply for it, but it sells separately. Google the specs for an adequate power supply

My need for the fan is for an audio amplifier that during warmer days would automatically shut down after 20 to 30 minutes. I'd wait 20 minutes and i was able to turn the amp back on. Since it was an over heating problem I installed the fan. I connected the fan's power cable to the amplifier so when I turn on the amp the fan goes on, amp off fan off. This works for me, maybe might work for you instead of running 24/7.

I have the same problem but it is actually a benifit in my case. I'm using it to power a car stereo in a wood box and the fan keeps the radio cool too. I purchased a "MEANSWELL" power supply for twice the price of this unit and it's fan never comes on and it powers 2 300watt car amps without any problems at full load

I have no idea on that. You would need to contact the manufacturer. We ended up adding another fan in our attic because it is so big. They don't require much power at all. You can't even hear them going. Boy have they made a huge difference in our electric bill.

You power the fan by putting the usb cable to your computer which will power it; but it also has a pass through so you can plug in another usb device on top of it.

The item is shipped without a power supply or any info regarding power supply requirements. I would have returned the one I bought, but, due to circumstances, I did not try to install the unit before the return period had expired. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I am stuck too.

No battery in this unit. USB or plug in only. I really love this fan. Very quiet and efficient!

In a answer to this question on another listing for the same product, Stephie answered: If your fan has an option for it you can use an adapter like this: Planet Waves 9V Power Adapter; Planet Waves 9V Power Adapter

power is one thing, but if the incoming air doesn't have an exit to move the air through the room the fan doesn't work very well.so remember the airflow through the room is just as helpful as the "power" of the fan

I would look at the amp rating, but any DC power supply at 5V can run this fan. Just test it with old power adopters but make sure to read voltage on the back.

Not sure why you would want/need to, but sure, you could use a PSU instead of the supplied power. I have yet to use anything but the supplied PS.

there are better ways to do that because this unit requires a 12v. power source to operate.you could use a 12v.a.c. transformer as the power source and the off timer contacts for the fan motor.i believe this unit requires a 8 pin socket.

The fan should be mounted to a well supported box. I see no reasons you could not run a power cord into the box.

Look at using old cell phone chargers. I found a used one on eBay for about nine bucks that matched the voltage and amperage exactly. It costs me $3.50 annually to run this fan 24/7 and it rocks.
